Independent Baselines
Page 2 of 47
The observations for GPS receivers collecting raw satellite data for stations at the same time are the ranges to the satellites for each receiver.

Independent Baselines
Page 3 of 47
When the ranges for each satellite at each station are differenced relative to one station, relative positions for the other points are derived that have survey quality positions relative to the station that they are compared to.
Independent Baselines
Page 4 of 47
When the position of stations are determined, errors can be introduced into station positions by positional errors. It is important to use high quality positions for data processing.

These positions are reduced to the corresponding vector data (GPS Azimuth, Slope Distance and change in height) between the stations for the adjustment process.

Since one GPS session is a no check solution and there is no redundancy or over determination. It is not valid to compute more vectors than one less than the number of stations in the session.

Dependent Vs. Independent (B/L’s) Base Lines
Page 8 of 47
• Independent B/L’s, data & setups divulge location of blunders.
• Processing independent B/L’s makes it easier to detect blunders.
• Network design using independent B/L’s makes it easier to assure sufficient redundancy.
• Even if you process all B/L’s design your network to satisfy redundancy with independent B/L’s

The Key to Post Processed GPS
Page 17 of 47
• IF YOU DO IT RIGHT IT CAN’T BE WRONG
• Good networks with sufficient redundancy give high confidence in results
• Weak networks makes you question what you have done.

TBC Tips And Tricks
Page 44 of 47
• Be careful of spaces in station names. Computers think E26 and E 26 are different stations.
• Have data sets start and end at close to the same time.
• Do not allow data sets in one session to overlap data sets in another session. This is done by controlling the start and stop times for the field operations.
• Use the shift key to select more than one baseline for processing in one session.

TBC Adjustment Roadmap
Page 45 of 47
• Process Independent Baselines
• Check RMS values
• Check Horizontal and Vertical precisions
• Check loop closures
• Hold 1 point fixed horizontal and vertical
• Assign H & V Setup Errors
• Perform minimally constrained adjustment
• Check for outlines
• Set station weighting until Chi Square Test passes
• Add one point at a time fixed horizontal
• Check for outlines
• Add one point at a time fixed vertical
• Check for outlines
